John Trapp on 1 Corinthians 5:13

Verſe 13. [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Therefore put away] Gr. Ye will put away, q. d. I hope you will, though hitherto ye have not. Soft words and hard arguments do ſooneſt prevail: Eſpecially when we reprove or admoniſh not in our own, but in Gods words, as here the Apoſtle doth out of Deut. 13. Some warmth muſt be in a reproof, but it muſt not be ſcalding hot. Aegros, quos potus fortis non curavit, ad ſalutem pristinam aqua tepens revocavit, ſaith Gregory. They that could not be cured with ſtrong potions, have been recovered with warm water.
